Gevrey series in quantum topology
Stavros Garoufalidis, T. T. Q. Le
Our aim is to prove that two formal power series of importance to quantum topology are Gevrey. These series are the Kashaev invariant of a knot (reformulated by Huynh and the secon…

On Chern-Simons Matrix Models
Stavros Garoufalidis, Marcos Marino
The contribution of reducible connections to the U(N) Chern-Simons invariant of a Seifert manifold can be expressed in some cases in terms of matrix integrals. We show that the…
